Re: Live from Ilkley Band stand (9 replies, posted in My local band and me)
Thanks Phill there is a story about the speakers . My nephew was suposed to provide the PA but he wasnt able to deliver due to family comitments .So I put together a mini system with our studio monitors and a small mixer as there was just 2 of us I felt it would be enough ,each monitor is 70 watts and was enough to cover the small area surrounding the band stand . Best thing about it was the price I paid £20 for the 2 speakers from a charity shop £25 for the mixer from ebay and £25 for the stands from amazon so for just £70 I put together a PA suitable for small bars or garden partys and we had a great gig .

Your humour shines through in your lyric Brian .I hope to have a look at some of your songs again now my health is improving . You need to write some thing about dentistry thats a good subject for a blues song ,and god knows i've suffered recently so something to give me a smile would be good .

Jan the white thing is a Seymour Duncan single coil pick up . It was expensive and disapointing . Ive since changed it for a cheap chinese one which works much better .

Re: Song - The Life I Left Behind (7 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Jim Ive done a quick cover of your song Life I left behind .I hope you dont mind Ive abreviated some of the lines to help me phrase it in my style . After I posted it I felt in the chorus at the end of line 2 it needed to go up a little to fit my vocal so Ive stuck a D chord at the end of that line .
It can be difficult interpreting another persons work but Ive always thought when doing covers one should try somethins slightly different , Hope you like version one I'll try and do version 2 later as its 9pm here and my neighbours need sleep . G
